About Good Manners.

Books on etiquette are staple literary
wares. Just at present there seems to
be more than the usual demand for
them, and some recently published
treatises on manners are having great
run. This is a good thing, for it is a
moral and c;vilizing process for people
to give thoughtful consideration to their
dues to their fellow beings. 1.-the study
does no more than to teach them not to
perform knife-sWalloWing tricks at the
table, it will be beneficial. There is,
however, a danger that in learning
rules of conduct without understanding
their underlying philosophy slavish
pedantry may be the result, or even
that worst form of snobbery which con-
sists in having sslady" and gentleman Z
on the brain.

The Lancet: It has always seemed
to us to be somewhat Of a satire on the
work of nature that the female form
should be thought to require the sup
port of corset in order to make it
graceful. We observe, therefore, with
satisfaction that ladies, and even young
ladies, are here and there to be found
who have, with equal courage and good
sense, dispensed with this unnecessary
article of dress. Among the majority
who continue to wear it there are also
signs, though less pronounced, of the
same healthy tendency. Tght-lacing
is viewed with much less favor than
formerly. Women as well as men are
coming to see that artificial slenderness
is not beauty, and indeed the sham and
unreason apparent in a figure wantonly
contracted must create in all thinking
persons feeling of repugnance which
effectualy prevents the possibility of adj
miration. Victims Of this hurtful prac-
tice and grievous error in taste are
still, however, not uncommon. Only a
few days ago an inquest on the body of
an elderly female revealed the fact that
death was due to the direct consequence
of her having the stays too tightly
laced. This is by no means the first
instance in which the coveted fneness
of waist has been thus dearly purchased.
1t is, in fact, impossible that this Gus
tom can but injure health, for what are
its effects? By tight lacing, which
forces together the elastic ribs and har-
rows the space within the thorax, free
action of the lungs is obviously rem
dered impossible; the liver and heart
are displaced, and the great blood yes
sells unnaturally stretched. The UNI
fortunate worshiper of false ideal loses
with free respiration the due effect of
the most powerful force which aids the
heart in driving its blood through the
body-the force of thoracic suction.
Displacement of the heart, moreover.
can only result in palpitation or severer
cardiac troubles. Thus it comes to
pass that every organ and tissue is UNI
dernourished, digestion is little more
than a meaningless term. and healthy
life in any part of the body is unknown.
This may seem to be forcible language,
but it is nevertheless the clothing of
facts which it does not merely envelope,
but in many cases fits with strictness
not incompatible to the firm embrace
OF the most fashionably strait corset.

CITRoN PRESERVES.

'sPeel the citron, cut in convenient
pieces and scald in weak ginger water,
one teaspoonful of ginger to quart Of
water is the right proportions; when the
citron can be pierced with straw, re-
move from the ginger water and drain
well. Make a syrup in this proportion:
to each pound of citron allow three
fourths Of a pound of sugar, and one
lemon sliced, without peeling. Dissolve
the sugar in a little water, only enough
to dissolve it well, place the citron in
the syrup and boil slowly, until tender,
but not broken. Remove the citron,
place in cans or jars, boil the syrup a
little longer, or until quite thick, then
pour over the fruit. Seal or cover
tightly while hot, and place in cool,
dark cellar. If cans are wrapped in
paper, they will keep much better.
"Citron may be dried in sugar and
used for the same purposes as the inn
ported citron, or fruit of the citron tree,
and if properly prepared, forms by no
means poor substitute.
''Peel the citron, remove the seeds,
and cut in convenient pieces Scald in
ginger water, same as for preserves,
drain and place in a syrup made by al
lowing the same quantity of sugar and
lemon as for preserves. Boil slowly
until the syrup has penetrated the fruit
well, the drain and place on plates in a
cool pantry. Cover syrup and place
carefully away.
Next day place the syrup again on
the fire, drop in the pieces of citron,
which by the time are slightly dry. Boil
slowly until tender, then drain from
the syrup, and place on plates to dry.
Boil the syrup until very thick, then
pour over the citron, turn the fruit every
day, and when the syrup has nearly
evaporated, sprinkle over the citron a
little granulated sugar.

served and dried the same as citron.

INJURY. TO CORNsTALKs.

In many places learn that the hay
crop is shortened by drouth, though
hereabouts a fair crop was secured
Possibly scarcity Of hay may prove a
blessing in disguise to those farmers
who have heretofore left the corn fod-
der go to waste. The wasteful West
ern plan of stripping the ripened ears
from standing stalks and leaving the
latter to the storms of Winter has new
Ell obtained here. Some stock farmers
leave stocks of corn out all Winter I'M
husked, or else husk it and leave the
stalks in moderate-sized punches until
ready for use. If the stalks are put up
properly this is not bad way, though
the punches should be drawn and set
on sod rather than in the cornfield to
be muddied when wet weather begins
and frozen down little later. In
saving cornstalks outside the silo it is
unsafe to put them either green or wet
with rains in large bodies before cold
weather. High, narrow stacks built
around pole keep them better than
they will in barns, and as each stack
is small it is not long exposed to the
weather after being opened. But un-
til so put up some care should be taken
to set up fallen stocks of corn and of
stalks in the field. A great deal of
valuable fodder and grain is wasted by
needless exposure during the Fall.

PUMPKINS FOR COWS.

Although this has been good corn
year there are also plenty pumpkins, a
rather unusual circumstance, as the
two crops trying to grow on the same
ground generally injure one and entire
ly spoil the other. Pumpkins are ex-
cellent feed for COWS raw if given in
limited quantities. Most COWS are raw
enously fond of them, and if fed too
freely will run to fat rather than to
milk. The seeds are strongly diuretic,
and if fed with the pumpkins will set
the urinary organs to working rather
than those for milk secretion.

Keep that permanent pasture in mind
when seeding down. Timothy and
clover will last but few years when
nipped by animals. Add red top, or
chard grass, blue grass and tall meadow
oat grass. Our climate is not favorable
to pastures as is that of England, but
once get field well set with good per-
ennial grasses and sprinkle little
manure every year on any spot that be
gins to look thin and land will run
many years without blowing.
Analysis show that almost all the
phosphoric acid in animal voiding is
contained in the solid excrement and al
most all the potash in the liquid. This
shows the necessity of keeping the two
together in order to form complete
fertilizer.

have of prying fast stones out when
